Within the past week, a massive winter storm has blown through Texas, causing power outages and water shortages throughout the state.As of Thursday morning, around 500,000 homes — down from nearly 3 million homes — were estimated to be without power. And since the freezing temperatures hit last Friday, many families are low on (if not completely out of) resources likedrinking water, food, and firewood.
If you’re not physically there, one of the best waysto help is by donating moneyto support those who are struggling across the state. As we did with our roundups of places to donate to forBlackandAsian communities, we’ve compiled a guide of funds and organizations that will directly help those in need in Texas by providing food, water, warming stations, and more. We’ve vetted each organization through our own research and consulted different lists from Texas residents and activists we’ve seen on social media (likethis onefrom Samoan organizer Terisa Siagatonu,this onefrom resource hub Intersectionalist Environmentalist,this onefrom Brittany Packnett Cunningham,this onecreated by@dox_gay,this onecreated by UT Austin Center for Community Engagement,this onefrom Good News by Good Good Good, andthis onefromTexas Tribune).
This list is thorough but by no means exhaustive, so we will update as we see more funds and organizations that can directly help until the state recovers. And if you or someone you know is in need of a warm place to stay in Texas, check outthis list, complied by the DallasMorning News,of all the warming-shelter options across the state.
